I think your PSU cannot afford the upgrade, grab a used very good condituon corsair 750W PSU from Amazon warehouse at $58

5800x + B550 from Amazon at around $350

64GB RAM looks not necessary. Probably you can consider upgrade to DDR4 CL16 3600MHz 16GB or 32GB @around $150, or save some money no upgrade.

NVME SSD? maybe another $100

GPU, hard to tell, wait till GTC to make a decision. But you still have at least $500 left, even enough for a 4070

I run 32GB now and it's not nearly enough. I run some heavy duty VMs take need tons of RAM.

Thx for all the feedback!
Saboth
Just one thing to keep in mind, the 5800X is a HOT chip. Hottest one I've ever seen. I had a 120 AIO on a mid tower case, and my temps during gaming were bouncing off of 90-92 degrees during gaming which is thermal throttling (so it would go higher). Once I got a 360 AIO and a bigger case with 2x more fans, the temps came down to the mid to high 70s during gaming, which is still pretty warm.

I've been waiting patiently to upgrade my PC for the new gen cards and the new graphics cards. I am running a Intel 4690K and GTX 970.

The things I want to keep are my:

1. 550W Platinum fanless power supply
2. Case (Fractal design R5)
3. My Noctua NH-U14S fan cooler.

Things I should replace:
1. (current) 32 > 64GB of RAM
2. Processor
3. Mobo
4. Graphics card (GTX970 > ______??______)

What do you guys think? Get new gen or last year's? Trying to keep a budget of $1200
If that's your budget you can build an absolute beast of a PC, I build and sell PCs all the time locally. The specs you currently have aren't bad, but grabbing this or even a 5600X would be pretty sizeable increases. A B550 board locally(check FB Marketplace and OfferUp) shouldn't be more than $80 tested working. I'd also check Amazon Warehouse(I routinely get parts from there in the Very good or like new conditions) I'd say you can easily build a 3070ti or 3080 build with that budget. Let me know if you need any further help or suggestions.

Would buy now. This stock will run out soon, then you won't be able to get it at all.

I really hope this deal lasts for another week! My 2700X died, and this is cheaper and faster than the same replacement!

This chip will require a nice air cooler or min. 240mm aio. It runs very hot. Remember this was the chip no one wanted at launch, for various reasons. I sold mine and bought a 5900x made a huge difference in temps and performance was better.

120 AIOs are universally garbage so that doesn't say much. These chips are pretty easy to cook on a 240+ if you don't want to overclock. Little bit of undervolting while maintaining boost clocks will do the trick.

I played around with the voltage and undervolting definitely "calmed" it down, even for not much of a performance hit, but in my new case I just let it run free.

Very true. When I was doing my build I did some research and other people were also saying that they were thermal throttling. Decided to just go with the 5900x.

The 5600X is mentioned a lot here... Why? The nearly as fast 5600 can be found for $23 less right now ($178) and has been as low as $150 on major online retailers.

The Cache is the same (probably?) for all three CPUs so, actual utility of the 5800X is largely application dependent. If $67 is a marginal cost for you get this chip otherwise, the 5600 is a better value.

It is mentioned because people are also expecting to see some large discount on it

I think your previous case might have been the issue, not the AIO. I built a system with a 5800x and a scythe fuma 2 and temps were 85 degrees with all core clock at 4.75 under full load. A 240mm aio should be able to handle it unless it's a Chinese off brand or it was old. AIO's have a limited useful lifespan. Coolant inside will eventually evaporate and thus reduce cooling efficiency.

edit: though you're not wrong. the 5800x is a hot chip, hotter than the 5600x of course or any of the g series CPUs. but no where near as hot as my 5950x.

I'll answer yours if you can answer mine, keeping my 5600X or buying this?
Keep the 5600X. 5600X vs 5800X doesn't make too big of a difference in gaming. Save the extra money for a GPU upgrade in the future. If you've got some sort of workload where the extra cores really matter, then you probably wouldn't be on a 5600X right now to begin with.

Also, bear in mind that the 5800X doesn't come with a cooler, so there's an even larger price difference than you're thinking.

You can get an RX 6600 or 6600XT between $200-$350 to last you a couple of years if you don't want to commit right now
